I am never not thinking about my personal AUs. Which will probably never see the light of day, unless you ask me about them or I boil over into a handful of concept/rant posts to huck into the void like so many frisbees.

Please, ask me about my AUs.

Alright, I went into my WIP document & dug up all my recent brainworms. Added them under the cut.

I need a fic where Tim gets de aged and everyone just gets to see how obnoxiously independent he was as a kid.

Like- they lose him and are all franticly searching for little 7yr old Tim just to find him cooking at the stove.

They find him cleaning the gutters with no safety gear, no ladder either. No one knows how he got up there.

He just does things. He never had to tell anyone anything when he was younger so he keeps forgetting to mention what he is going to do.

dick and Tim on the top of two opposite buildings when the com link is down frantically playing charades in order to get the details of the case despite both of them being fluent in ASL

Oracle gets the com link back up and only tells dick to move closer to a security camera so she can properly criticize how he’s acting out that safe cracking because with how that’s looking he might as well if just acted out cracking an egg because it would’ve been clearer

Always got you bestie

Just another Stephanie Brown drawing

Alright let me know your favorite Stephanie Brown moment!

Stephanie’s post patrol hair is WILD.

they’re such goofy siblings i love them

Red Hood: Outlaws Issue #6 (2022)

“If someone is going to kill me over this fic, just please let it be Deathstroke.”

“Okay so hypothetically I work at Wayne Enterprises and the big boss man (the boss) maybe ships Superbat???? And saw me updating during my break?????? And asked how he could find it????????? Also rip, Mr. Timothy Drake Wayne Jr the Third, but your dad is one of us now and no upwards looking pleas are going to stop him.”

“My neighbor just gave me a thirty minute lecture on multiversal theory and I will now be incorporating that knowledge into my next fic in the most cursed way possible. And, I mean, the guy knows a crazy ton about the Justice League? But also, like, whose favorite gotham hero is Red Robin lmao?”

“Me: *scours the web for fic research purposes*

The mr. Batman on my computer: is_this_a_pigeon_batman_rogue_meme.jpg

[Alt text: is this a pigeon meme showing man with Batman mask over face holding up a sign that says nightwingsbabe. Text across bottom reads: is this a rogue?]”

“This fic is dedicated to that one time I saw Red Hood trip off a rooftop and Spolier laughing at it for twenty minutes. You are my new ship.”

“Just saw the newest episode of the Mandolorian and will now be shamelessly inserting Red Hood into the Star Wars universe. No I’m not projecting what are you talking about. Anyway, only love for papa hood here. Everyone else go die in metropolis or something idk.”

“Black Bat is the coolest bat. That has nothing to do with this fic I’ve just been hearing a lot of VERY WRONG opinions lately and needed to come set the record straight.”

“I’m not in a cult, I promise.”

“I’m from Gotham. You’ve been warned. Read the damn tags.”

“Major character death is the Joker. Because this is gotham and that’s the escapist fantasy we all engage in here.”

"look I tagged this fic with both Dead Dove: Do Not Eat AND author is from Gotham so you don't get to freak out about the gratuitous violence when you were explicitly warned that it was gonna get graphic"

"well I'm posting early but this hasn't been beta'd because my beta is currently detoxing after the last Scarecrow attack, so please be kind. And also maybe leave a kind word in the comments that I can share with my beta? They need it."

"sorry not an update just a note to let everyone know that this fic will be going on hiatus until the latest Arkham breakout is resolved - I'm okay, it's just that Gotham is going into a mandated blackout. You know how it is."

“Sorry I didn’t update I just got out of blackgate.”

“I’ve written so much about red hood that good keeps autocorrecting to hood. I’m completely normal about him I swear.”

“Two Face attacked the office last week and poor Mr Wayne was missing like the entire time. Can someone get that guy a bodyguard? And like, a therapist or something? Anyway, I’m home from the hospital now with plenty of time to write. Expect all the updates.”

“I got a disappointed dad sigh from nightwing. That has nothing to do with this I just wanted to share my emotional pain.”

“soooooo uh apparently being an insomniac writer with poor impulse control in Gotham has some benefits??? I was hanging out on my fire escape with my laptop and uhhhh well i probably shouldn’t give too many details bc i dont wanna dox myself but uh. everyone say thank you to Red Hood for fucking???? Beta’ing this oneshot????? I know it sounds fake, trust me, I was THERE and it still sounds fake to me”

“you aren’t allowed to @ me for the “wrote this during a joker gas attack” tag unless you have lived a minimum of 6 years in gotham okay. you don’t GET it.”

“so if some of the dialogue sounds familiar its because you might’ve heard it on the news recently during the last Riddler uh.... thing. and its NOT in bad taste okay, no one died this time”

“i wanna thank everyone for all the sympathy after the last chapter, when i mentioned in my authors note that my brother had been murdered, it really meant a lot!!! but he’s back now so it’s all gucci :peace_sign:”

“This one is for the Signal. You’re insane and I love you so much.”

“How come Robin gets a sword and I don’t? He’s like ten. Anyway, have a fic with a ton of swords because someone won’t let me get one.”

“Genuinely laughing my ass off at the comment from the last chapter. I know exactly who is from Gotham and who isn’t and I love you my fellow hell-dwellers.”

“Guys this fic ended up being set in Metropolis I’m so sorry.”

“No beta we die like Gothamites on Tuesdays”

“Does it count as RPF if it’s the anthropomorphism of the bat signal and the batmobile? Asking for a friend.”

“fun fact! if you write commissioner gordon/batman smut, it gets mysteriously deleted from your profile within 3 minutes of being posted, and you get a terrifying email from Oracle that I don’t dare to repeat here! Anyways, enjoy this re-written smut, now featuring Batman and Green Arrow instead. Since I guess Oracle is watching me which is TERRIFYING.”

“new rule: you can’t complain about anyone writing Red Hood like a massive fucking nerd unless you, personally, have heard him quoting Jane Austen while chasing a bunch of muggers down your street.”

“this one goes out to Spoiler, for no particular reason other than I still remember that time I looked out my window and saw her hit Robin in the head with a fucking brick on the next roof over”

“no beta we die like joker goons”

“to the commenter who proposed marriage to me after the last chapter: i’m flattered, but i’m saving myself for Batgirl. If you ARE Batgirl, hmu babe <3″

“I think the guy next door works for Red Hood but like, that’s cool, right? They’re fine? Anyway, he knew so much about guns and fighting and stuff so have an actually well-written fight scene for once.”

“Writing from the hospital. Again. Can’t believe I got caught in the middle of a gang war again but I did get to see Red Hood shoot Black Mask and it made my whole year so honestly worth it.”

“No beta we die like Robin’s patience with the goons who were apparently using swords wrong and yes it was glorious and I’m pretty sure Spoiler filmed the entire thing so someone ask nicely and maybe we can have that forever.”

"so this chapter has a lot of cool animal facts in it but I cannot take any credit for research - Damian Wayne visited the animal shelter I volunteer at and basically gave an impromptu lecture. It was cute! And I really enjoyed it, so uh... have Robin lecturing some henchmen about proper pet care, I guess lmao"

"Y'ALL the dead robins club is REAL, I heard Nightwing reference it while he and Red Robin were waiting for the cops to pick up the guys who were trying to kidnap me (I'm fine btw don't worry). Anyways. VINDICATION."

"I did such a deep dive into Gotham's legal system, and also the NJ legal system in general, that I maaaaaaay be going to law school after I finish my undergrad???? So. There are SOME benefits to being a Two-Face fucker. Maybe."

"not Flash stans in MY comment section :crying_laughing: get outta here. This is for Gotham gremlins only."

This is not my fandom. I don’t know who half these characters are.

And yet, I feel EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE deep in my soul. All of this is correct.

"Hey y'all the sunshine boi visited my school today and he just. radiates positivity. So have some Bruce Wayne fluff <3"

"Look I know it's unrealistic but I wanted to have fun and write an AU where Sunshine Bruce Wayne secretly is Batman. so Crack fic I guess."

"Sorry I haven't posted in a while:(( was used as a pawn in a Riddler puzzle😑😑😑but Red Robin saved me☺️☺️☺️ two hours late😡😡😡 enjoy this chapter where I stab him and see how he likes it"

"I'm not saying the headcanon that Bruce Wayne is Batman is unrealistic. I'm just saying that it doesn't make sense. But my patrons requested it so..."

"Guess who just typed out Reader/Poison Ivy fics instead of taking their maths test :D "

"Sorry this is late! Long story short, my spleen is gone, and that was weird. Anyways, this coffee shop AU is completely out of control and I don't know when it will end now."

"If you have a problem with my fic where Batman kills the Joker then maybe you're part of the fucking problem. Let a boy dream."

"Wrote this after Robin cussed out a guy who said something nasty about my hijab. In Arabic!!! He also escorted me home like a tiny angry bodyguard. Tiny gentleman Robin is now my best experience ever. Have a story about him having an amazing day because he deserves the world. <3"

"My long awaited Red Hood / Pride and Prejudice crossover is finally here! Red Hood, if you see this, you're welcome!"

"Is it weird to write a story where Dick Grayson and Nightwing bond over hair care? Maybe, but god they both have such gorgeous hair."

"Saw Batman smile really softly once as a kid when watching Robin do a really cool backflip. This has been top tier parental love in my mind since then. Have a story about Batman being a proud father. Tooth rotting fluff."

"Wrote about Red Hood killing Joker because reasons, got a box of chocolates delivered to me with a little note attached that said "hood" and now I'm eating them and thinking about marriage-- Here's a story where I wonder if Red Hood is gay by writing everyone else being attracted to him."

Batman AU where the batfam is an extension of Gotham’s will so they can’t leave the city without taking a piece of it with them

Bruce, ever practical, has a batarang made from a steel piece off the bat signal (not that he’d be able to throw it but it’s a backup nonetheless)

Dick, Jay, and Tim have made it Robin tradition to carry pebbles in their pockets (the justice league has come to associate the soft jingling of rocks with the arrival of the Dark Knight)

Steph finds pretty rocks and quartz to crack open and share with Cassandra- and they cycle through their newest finds (cass does keep a shiny piece of obsidian in her utility belt, it was the first one Steph gave her)

Duke keeps a corner from a road sign in his pouch, the reflective yellow paint matches his theme- (what better representation of the city than perpetual construction)

Damian reverently carries a piece of deep green sea glass from the harbor. The color reminds him of his mother, and he finds the beauty fitting. (The irony that the only way for him to leave his new home is an echo of the reason he’s there in the first place is not lost on him.)

EDIT: LOOK AT THE REBLOGGED VERSION WITH MORE CONTENT ITS WORTH IT I SWEAR

Can I have a link, because this post has over 2k reblogs so finding said version is pretty hard.

Game night at the manor is fun, until it comes time to choose what game to play

Twister? Nope. Not with Dick in the house.

Scrabble? Jason knows more words than anyone. Not to mention he's a world class bullshitter so they never know if he's making them up off the top of his head or not.

Poker? Cass somehow beats everyone. Every time. She also refuses to tell anyone who taught her the rules.

Monopoly? Alfred banned Monopoly. Forever. It was also the night he almost banned Damian from carrying weapons in the house.

Uno? Nobody can agree on the rules, and 'draw four' cards have resulted in stitches.

Jenga? Babs is world champion. No question. No contest.

Trivia? Steph and Duke teamed up and wiped the floor with every other team the last trivia night. Bruce has still not recovered.

Cards against humanity? Tim destroyed the deck after the last time they played turned into a therepy session.

they end up making up their own games. An example is capture the flag (the flag is a tv remote or whatever's on hand), mixed with dodgeball (throw and dodge couch cushions), with a smattering of the floor is lava for a little flavor. The only rule is you aren't allowed to maim anyone. Everything else is on the table; chandelier swinging, punching, team-switching, and betrayal.

Another example is snakes and ladders, except with added rules. Like if you land on a multiple of seven you have to do a truth/dare task that the person furthest ahead on the board picks. You land on a mutiple of nine you get an uno action card, so people regularly get the turns skipped and or have to go back two/four blocks if they get slapped with a plus two/four.

They games are chaos, and ever evolving as people add rules. The games get banned (by Alfred) or Vetoed (by general vote due to a poor previous experience), and new ones immediately appear.

Personal headcanon: Only Dick’s siblings & very closest friends can make jokes about his name without it bothering him. Oh, he’ll smile, he’ll laugh, he’ll take it in stride, but it does bother him. The difference is those people he’s okay with have all laid someone out flat with a single punch & zero hesitation for doing the same.

Their teasing is loving. They’ve all called eachother much worse affectionately, and he knows they associate his name more with exasperating affection than actual insults. Nobody else gets to say that.

The constant mockery of Dick Grayson’s former mullet is a distraction tactic to make you all forget the fucking rattail, and I will not stand for this. 

currently reading grayson cause a comic with such a bad fucking plot idea couldnt go unnoticed and honestly dick grayson being shirtless the whole time is starting to be really funny to me

Full disclosure the batboys can do no wrong.

Tim has probably the highest kill count? He should kill more. As a treat.

Damian has repeatedly attacked his brothers? He's just a little guy. He didn't know any better.

Jason has committed crimes beyond my comprehension? I'm sure he had a reason.

Dick lost his memory and became Ric?

........

......

.....

Maybe they can do wrong...

ABSOLUTELY LOSING IT, nobody should EVER let Dick Grayson convince you that he's not just as feral as the rest of them!! Whacky Time Shenanigans bring Thomas and Martha Wayne into the present, but they don't trust that it's really them and not some clone or impersonator, so Damian takes it upon himself to go threaten to stab Thomas if he tries anything that will hurt his family, and eventually Alfred rats Damian out and Bruce is like "you threatened to do WHAT to my father??" and Dick's just like ":D :D :D YEAH GOOD JOB, KIDDO". Dick absolutely would have done the same thing at 13 years old, just with a smiley face, you can't change my mind. Absolutely and completely have done it on a beautiful morning, sunlight streaming in through the windows, and just. "😊 Try anything to my dad 😊 and I'll STAB YOU 😊 *threatening jabbing motions* 😊" with that perfect angelic baby face he had.

To dull the pain of DC’s treatment of Damian as of late, I compiled virtually every Damian hug I could find. Serotonin abound.

My brother where do you intend to go tonight?

 I heard that you missed your connecting flight. 

You’re ever welcome with me any time you like, 

Let’s drive to the country side,

 leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes, 

So no one gets worried, no.
